So when do you think lighting should be put up outdoors?

Personally, i think any lighting before the first of December is useless. I mean, that still gives you 20ish days to enjoy it, and not blind your neighborhood pre-christmas.

And i think that lighting should be multi-colored, Never just plain white lights. They are a stupid expression of sheep-hood.

Never less, i do enjoy taking a drive about and seeing all the lighting displays mid-december.
